Does anyone know when the Toronto Raptors TV sked is supposed to be released? I know that Sportsnet isn't playing many games and CBC is getting a few more and the rest goes to TSN and TheScore, but what about the specific dates and channels? Also what about pre-season games?

Likely fairly soon, but Sportsnet has dropped basketball all together, so games will just be shown on CBC, TSN and The Score. I don't believe there are any exclusive games on Raps TV this season either. :)

Thanks.

Do you know about the pre-season games or will that just be the same time released as the regular season sked? Im guessing that the pre season games will all be on Raptors TV.

that sucks, considering that nobody has tsn2 .... I'm pretty sure that a deal like that would be subject to future availability. At least RaptorsTV is available to anybody who has digital cable (and an extra loonie a month ...).

The score/Raptors TV will carry probably 80% of the games.The rest will be TSN/TSN2/CBC(sunday games).

I have TSN2 on expressvu.

I just assumed it was free if you already have TSN.

It is, but I think Bell is ahead of the others in the programming of it so far. I now I looked on my Rogers receiver last week and couldn't find it. So, I think its only a matter of time before its running on all the providers. :)

you're sure it wansn't a preview? I just read in the star this weekend that no major network is yet signed up by tsn2, apparently they're asking for a lot of money.

Maybe it's only a free preview, but since we've had expressvu I've noticed that they add stations to your existing packages without informing you and we have subscribe to two or three different sports packages. :confused:

I don't think pre-season games are carried - perhaps on Raps TV, but not on channels like the Score, TSN or CBC

actually, I think7 of the 8 games will be shown - all home games + the game in vancouver + the games in the LA tournament. Not sure about the first away game against cleveland ...

home games will be shown on RaptorsTV btw - I don't know about the others.

Wow there's a TSN2 now? Does anyone who lives in toronto know what channel TSN2 is on, on rogers digital cable. (For those who do not know raps tv is on 96 & 413) so if you have those channels where is tsn2?
